The union representing Green Bay's police officers says officer Derek Wicklund acted in a "justifiable, legal, and lawful" manner early Saturday when he made an aggressive arrest featured in a viral video.

The Green Bay Professional Police Association "is confident that Officer Wicklund's actions will be justified and consistent with the State of Wisconsin Department of Justice use-of-force standards," President Ryan Meader said in a statement released Wednesday.
